Gay Marriage: Mexico City Council Votes 39 – 20 “Yes.” New York, Still 38 – 24 “No.”
Mexico City lawmakers just voted 39 – 20 in favor of marriage equality. They subsequently struck down the provision banning adoption by gay couples.
New York State still hasn’t voted in favor of same sex marriage. Nor has New Jersey.
Via BBCNews:
“City legislators passed the bill 39-20, with five abstentions. The city’s mayor is now widely expected to sign the bill into law.
“Gay marriage is only allowed in seven countries and some parts of the US. Certain parts of Latin America allow civil unions for same-sex couples.
“The church and conservative groups had opposed Mexico City’s move.”
Congratulations to our wise neighbors to the south.
